toys and techniques: February 2015
http://toysandtechniques.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Listening to Teresa Winter. So nice. A heady cocktail of echoey 4ad-style voices and bedroom beats and bended circuits. Like how I wish Nite Jewel or Julia Holter sounded. Seriously, such a welcome tonic for these frostbit ears. You can download her Seven Sisters cassette here. And look out for a new tape called Oh Tina No Tina out soon on Reckno. Clip below, and more here. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Birmingham play sculpture gets listed. Wednesday, February 11, 2015.

http://toysandtechniques.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. Music and Poetry of the Kesh. This cassette is included in Ursula Le Guin's novel Always Coming Home. Which is about a valley people called the Kesh "who might be going to have lived a long, long time from now in Northern California." The cassette features music by Todd Barton and serves as a kind of anthropological primer on Kesh music and poetry. Very, very beautiful tape, well worth seeking out. Support Barton by buying here.

Wednesday, April 30, 2014. A friend gave me this record a long time ago, but I've never known the name of the composer until now. Been playing this on loop, preparing for imaginary journey across desert. Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Vlčí bouda (Wolf's Lair). This movie is great. An 80s offering by the wonderful Věra Chytilová. Starts off as a teen ski movie then turns into John Carpenter's The Thing. Cautionary tale for Vermonters. Sunday, April 27, 2014. For telling me about this movie! Happy Spring sun mus...

Bringing It All Back Home. Something I'm watching for work, a 1987 film on the Docklands and labor migrations by Chrissie Stansfield of the all woman production company, the Sheffield Film Co-op. Also watching this. About the Grunwick film processing strike in late 70s (peep the weird electronic soundtrack.). I hate this film.
